I know this to be the biggest red flag from personal experience. Happened to me at a small start up in Illinois of all places 20+ years ago. I was fresh out of college the naive to things, trusted in the owner. Got royally screwed. It was a formative experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone but it taught me a very valuable lesson the result of which is that I have only worked at well established companies since.
